Helen

[Verse 1]
They came
From so many miles away
Just to see your face
And they pronounced the trip a waste
'Cause you were just some pretty girl
As unremarkable as sand

And yet the war went on as planned

And now your suitors are all corpses on the field
So gullible and foolish
That they'd perish for a well-intentioned lie
Somebody told them
That you were somehow special
Despite all of the evidence that you wеre just
Ordinary

[Chorus]
Drag your fingernails across your face
Tеar out your eyes, Helen
Make it so that nobody will want you anymore
Tear out all your hair and break your teeth with stones, Helen
Maybe they'll stop fighting
If their pretty prize is broken
And bruised

[Verse 2]
You may say
You made no difference either way
And there was nothing you could do
They would have come and they'd have stayed

And like anybody

You want to be wanted without hurting anyone
But if that is impossible
When all is said and done, you'd rather
Tear yourself to pieces
And throw yourself away
Than live life poisoned by the guilt
For the men who broke like waves against you

[Chorus]
Drag your fingernails across your face
Tear out your eyes, Helen
Make it so that nobody will want you anymore
Tear out all your hair and break your teeth with stones, Helen
Maybe they'll stop fighting
If their pretty prize is broken
And bruised

[Outro]

Na na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na na
